The frosty bite of Fall winds, snap of the
'quarterback's signal, and the crack of toe against
pigskin all serve as reminders that football is in
the air and the first . game only two weeks away.
\Vith preparation for perhaps the last regular sea
son of collegiate football comes the announcement
that the Office of Defense Transporaion has re
quested all college fotbaoll authorities to develop
such individual plans for games as will eliminate
mass travel of weekend crowds by bus and rail
.t :Dad.
Fortunately for Nittany students a good roster
of home games is listed but Cornell, Penn, Pitt,
end Lehigh are away games that usually attract
student caravans. Close:Subervision by college
officials over the distributipii,of tickets to games
has been suggested as on&waY to control the in
.flux of fans. • Already the University of Pitts
btirgh has tightened up ticket distribution with
this end in mind.
Joseph B. Eastman, ODT Director, in his orig
inal appeal stated, "I am not unmindful of the
benefits derived from college football and other
Types of sports events, and I am well aware of the
desirability of continuing these .gariies. Through
the cooperation of the public in refraining from
iravel,' we hope to assure conditions which will
make poSsible the continuance of sports events
without depriving those who must travel of essen
litil transportation facilities."
We consider that as framing the question very
nicely. However, Mr. Eastman need not be so
_o'ncetned about Penn State students using . the
t'uses or. railroads. He never had • occasion to
make transportation arrangements to. enter or
eve the Nittany Valley else he would not be So
t)erturbed.
linwever, fans who planned to follow the team
this year may take his bit Of advice for serious
, :cinsideration. Maybe the home games will lad
enough. We feel they should. —H. J. Z.
The Hig Comes. Through
When the editorial columns begin to buzz with
football atmosphere, it is a sure sign that the first
.tiame is looming in the near future. Sport news
is usually found on page three of the Collegian;
'nit three or foie• times each year, this page drops
its editorial dignity in order to satisfy an urge to
•ominent On collegiate sports.
It is now ancient news—this fact that Penn

The big talk in little groups this week is the
8:30 curfew
"Yes." "No." "Well, I think it's terrible. What
are they trying to do to us-?" "Oh, it's not so bad.'
"Well, I don't know—
Many of these talking machines have read only
the headlines or just listened to what a friend
heard from somebody else about all this. Every-
one's heard of the old parlor game where. the per-
son at the head of a line whispers a name to the
guy next him, and so on down to see what name
comes out at the very end: Turns out pretty funny
sometimes, doesn't it? And more often than not,
the name at the end is nothing like the one the
first guy started off with
That's the way it is with rumor campaigns, too
The last guy is likely to.find himself way out in
left field
Yesterday we happened to attend the Cabinet
meeting which discussed the various appeals for
exemption from the 8:30 curfew. And as a visitor
looking over part of the machine that runs this
school we were satisfied with what we foluld
Dean Warnock is quoted as saying: "Student
government is the established agency of the stu-
dent body for making uniform procedures." There
was no monkey-business yesterday. No time
wasting. The students who _are the Cabinet
'listened to the student representatives of various
organizations appeal their cases, and• then decided
them. Each decision was based on what has been.
established as NECESSARY to our war program
No trying to "out-do" anybody, no trying to "do
anybody out." And these students are in a better
position to decide than those who sit over cokes
and cigarettes carrying on rumor campaigns
You can't buy a second cup of coffee or tea at
the restaurants any more either. Nor as much
sugar as you want
On the whimsical side, a student was heard to .
remark, "I'm glad my mother never allowed me to
start drinking coffee. Now I won't miss it."
At this point it may be trite to say again This
is a war. We will have to make some sacrifices..
But each day this statement gains a little more
significance
When gas rationing was first proposed, there
were quite a few people running around, whining
"My God, how are we going to live without it—?"
A few weeks later it became a Program, and we're
doing all right by it.
It's amazing what you can do when you have to.
State's fresh have been granted permisison to
participate in varsity snorts for the duration. But
it is not at all unusual to find ancient news on the
editorial page, because it is oftbn a policy of this
page to portray any and every topic that arises,
whether it be historical in nature; or in 'contrast,
a prediction about something that has not yet hap
pened;
But before we get too involved in our own
statements, we will return, to the discussion of
sports. When the frosh eligibility rule was up
for discussion at the Athletic Advisory Board
meeting last Saturday, Coach Bob Higgins was
called before the Board to express his views on
the matter.
Now it is well known that the Hig had been
subject to a certain amount of criticism around
Nittany Valley, simply because he had not pro
tected his grid personnel by getting it safely tied
up in the reserve, away from the long fingers of
Uncle Sam's draft. If Penn State had not lost so
many gridders via the selective service, it would
now be unnecessary to use frosh on the varsity
squad;
But the Hig came through in perfect style. He
said that a lot of his fellows wanted to•get into
the army, and that he wasn't going to.try.to per
suade them to stay out . . If they wanted to' go,
there was no reason why he should try to keep
them here. I was over there in 'lB, and• I know
how the boys feel now, the Hig concluded.
No one will say that the Hig is putting football.
